So... who's still "all in"

[BraveDemon]

well number one they gave me 41k for the camaro and then gave me the 22 supra 3.0 prem for 57 which is ok i really didnt want the toyocare or guard or whatever but its free service for 2 year not really i guess lol since it was in the 57k price anyways the 21k i had left from the trade paid half the car basically

Is that for a new one? If so that’s actually a decent price. That is what I paid for my 3.0 premium with drivers assistance package in Jan of this year.

Edit: I’m still def in for a Z… just a matter of when.

yea i have that and the toyo guard, i still want to get a z also but i figured it be awhile before i can even get one

 

[BraveDemon]

yea i have that and the toyo guard

Congrats man! Given everything that’s happened since Jan thought dealers would price gouge like crazy, but happy to hear you got it for a reasonable price.

Gives me hope the price of the Z perf might be reasonable too if I can find a good dealership.

well a few places i had visited had 10k markup, i had to fight these guys to but they wanted the sale at the end, im going to be honest if nissan only gets one or 2 per dealer i have a bad feeling about the initial launch

 

[BraveDemon]

@Blackbeard yeah. I had to shop around too for the best price. ADM is annoying AF here in the states…

$55k

And

Seeing the bus length that Supra put on the Z really killed most of my enthusiasm for this car

So you will not buy a car based on some video you watched on YouTube? A lot of those videos are paid by other competitors. Good, one less of you to worry about! ?

I agree it is too early to "give up"
And I have a lot of issues with social media reviewers and click bait crap

But the Hagerty guy is well respected and if you really think Ford or Toyota paid him to fake a video you are living in your own vape cloud

Not necessarily paid by them but if you think about it, the Supra's numbers on the Dyno were lower than the new Z, except for the torque, no way in hell it puts a bus length. I've played with stock Supra's with my tuned 370z and none of them gapped me that much. Which is why I call bs on this one.

They are not lower. Higher.
Z is 400 at crank
Supra is 385 at wheels
and more importantly torque is what drives 1/4 times NOT hp.

People buy houses off plans without ever seeing them…why should a car be any different, not everyone wants to race indeed I’d say only around 10% do.
The majority want a fun car that they can take out on the country roads on the weekend, but is still useful during the day.

Personally, I don't really care if the new Z can beat Supra or not.
I want a car that is reasonably priced, has decent reliability, looks elegant, goes fast enough for me to enjoy and, most importantly, with stick shift.

Not taking mine to the tracks, and not going to race the kids honking at me at red lights, either.

I see *"hack yeah!"* percentage keeps dropping...
Chance of paying MSRP is increasing.

 

[bboypuertoroc]

I'm out until they significantly drop the price on the performance or release models between sport and performance that have what I want.

Reliable. Fast. Cheap.

Choose 2.

People see the house plans and these days can even tour them in VR ... they don't see a building company announce a new house that has three doors, and then rush out and slap down a deposit without even knowing when it will be available or how much it will cost.

The exception are the idiots with more money than sense, like big name celebrities (footballers, rappers, Kardashians, etc.), who don't really care that they'll lose money if it turns out to be a disaster because they've still got piles more to play with anyway.
